Here are some images from Peter and Ambers wedding at the Ranch in San Jose. Joey photographed this wedding a few weeks ago and even though there was some threat of rain the day turned out wonderful. The ranch is really a beautiful spot to get married at, very picturesque and beautiful views. Here are a few images from the day:                Posted 10/29/2007 at 10:48 AM |

Very nice use of flash on the third to and last photos. I think the second to last photo might look better as a full-on silhouette instead of still being able to see the color of his shirt and tie. Maybe?  |

We have been editing so much over here and working on album non stop that I haven't had much to to post some images. There are ton's of great recent weddings we have to share and I'll post some images, slideshows and cool album designs this weekend. Here is a recent slideshow from Yoali and Javier's wedding at the Historic Dunsmuir House in Oakland. The Dunsmuir house is a beautiful place to get married at with towering trees, lush gardens and a majestic turn-of-the-century mansion.

Last weekend was such a fun weekend of weddings, I have been so busy catching up this past week that I didn't have anytime to post about our past weekend so here is a brief run down. Once I have more time I will post some images: Friday we photographed Valerie and Josh's wedding at the Decathalon Club in San Jose. They are such a fun couple, I was able to shoot 2 engagement shoots with them over the past year so when the wedding date came along it was so easy to photograph them (They had a very beautiful, elegant wedding) it was a great way to start the weekend off. Saturday I was at David and Lauras wedding in downtown San Jose. They had a beautiful church ceremony at St. Josephs and then the reception at the St. Claire. I haven't been to the St. Claire in awhile since they renovated the courtyard and it was really nice. David and Laura I think had the best first dance I have seen in awhile, David broke into a little Michael Jackson routine halfway through and it was great, they both put on a good show! Joey was over in Santa Cruz on Saturday at the Chaminade for Amanda and Scotts wedding. It looks like it was a fun wedding with lots of cool Disney themed things at the reception. And we ended the weekend up in Oakland for Trang and Rons wedding. They had a nice tea ceremony in the morning at a nice downtown hotel and then another ceremony and reception at the Dunsmuir House. They had an awesome band at the reception that kept everyone dancing. It was a wonderful wedding and a great way to end the weekend. Monday I did have to sleep in a little bit and then all week have been back at the editing station, cranking away at weddings and albums. Once I get caught up this week I will post more details and photos. -- Mark Bay Area Wedding Photography Posted 10/14/2007 at 1:49 AM |

I can't believe that the wedding season is starting to wind down. This summer has been packed with so many great weddings I think I will start having wedding withdrawls soon. The winter season we have a lot of albums to finish up and family portraits so thingsare still very busy but I will miss having a wedding every weekend. There were so many great weddings lately I got spoiled and am already looking forward to next year! I loked at my calendar earlier and this weekend was my 28th straight wekend with at least 1 wedding (and this weekend we had 4 weddings between myself and joey) what a great way to wind down the season. There were some beautiful weddings this weekend so I will share more later. Mark Posted 10/7/2007 at 1:1 PM |

This wedding was so fun and unique. It was the first time I shot a wedding at bonfonte gardens (actually gilroy gardens now) and it is really a great place to get married. Inside the park they have a very seculed place to have your reception so you don't even know you are in the park, it's quiet and surrounded by trees and greenery. And then the cool thing is if you want to take some photos in the park and have fun you can, they will even let you ride on the rides. Here are a few shots from their day, congratulations guys!!! We started the day off playing a few games with the guys and riding the roller coaster:     Here are a few shots of the beautiful bride before the wedding:   Here is Andrew as he got his first glimpse of Sarah walking down the Aisle:  and the awesome site for the ceremony:  Afterwards we were able to get Sarah and Andrew on one of the cars to take a little ride:   and then the whole bridal party on the merry go round:   Sarah really likes waterfalls and Bonfonte has a bunch, so we stopped on one right before the reception started:  The reception site is really nice with lots of trees and flowers surrounding you, here are some shots of the reception:    At the end of the night we setup a few lights to capture some shots that I really liked.   -- Mark Posted 10/4/2007 at 12:46 PM |

We captured some great images at Justin and Jackie's wedding. The bridal party was a blast to work with and the bride and groom were so good in front of the camera. Their wedding was at the Corinthian Center in San Jose The Corinthian center is right in downtown San Jose and a beautiful spot to get married at.

Sorry for the bad photo quality, I normally don't post camera phone photos but every once in awhile I don't have time to grab my camera so just use my phone for a quick shot. Most of you that have visited the studio know that I have 2 cats, since one is usually creeping around vying to attention. Sometimes they are just so interesting to watch and I love to observe how they interact with each other. Usually they are chasing each other around and fighting but today they were both knocked out on the bed (but with some space between, only once I have caught them sleeping side by side) Anyways for those who haven't seen our two kitties here they are sleeping the day away:  Posted 10/3/2007 at 1:13 AM |

Here are a few images from Jeff and Jae's wedding at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. Montalvo is a beautiful spot to get married, very elegant. Here is Jae at the start of the day, getting ready at Villa Montalvo  Jeff had to play a few games before the ceremony started, here he had to write a note to Jae with the pen in his mouth :)  Here is a shot of the ceremony site at Montalvo  One image that I loved of Jae in the main bridal room  and a few more images of the ceremony site:     Jeff and the Guys  A few of Jeff and Jae around the grounds at Montalvo   I love trying to use the sun in unconventonal ways and get some cool looking lens flare in the shot   The dinner from above:  Jae has such a wonderful smile:  I loved this shot as they held each others hand during the toasts, so cute!    More wedding photos to come later. -- Mark Bay Area Wedding & Portrait Photography Posted 10/2/2007 at 10:39 PM |

Today I am going to catch up on posting some images finally. Here are just a couple from Lawrence and Marissa's wedding that Joey shot. There are so many fun images from this wedding I couldn't decide on what to post but here is a very small sample. I'll post some more images later today from our other weddings. Here is Lawrence with all of the guys:  and Marissa with her Girls:  They shot at Santana Row during the day in between the Ceremony and Reception. Santana Row has some awesome spots for images but instead of doing them like everyone else and just using the backgrounds and natural light, he setup some quick lights and gave the images way more impact than normal. Lighting is so key to good photography and these images really pop with the help of the lighting that was used.     Have a great day! -- Mark Posted 10/2/2007 at 7:33 PM |
